Thoughts of . .
Spring vacation, initiations
bring wide smiles on campus
By Agnes Wanek.
Campus spirits seem to be ris
ing with the promise of spring
(just a figure of speech) vacation
in the not too far distant future.
People are beginning to smile too
because the weekend is much
closer than it was Monday, some
thing you probably didn't already
know. Most of the wide smiles on
campus, however, are contributed
by about-to-be initiated fraternity
and sorority pledges.
AT LAST
we have found two people who
welcomed the return of the snow.
Those two hardy souls were ATO
John Mason, of radio fame, and
Beta Jack Hyland, who got up at
five yesterday morning to go
skiiing. Two even braver people
were the girls who went with
them.
PIN-HANGING
of last weekend that has so far
not been heralded, occurred Sun
day night when DU Dick McCon
nell hung his pin on Chi Omega
Dorothy Wear. It seems that he
has managed to keep the fact
pretty well hidden from some of
his fraternity brothers.
WEATHER NOTE:
With no promise of the end of
winter, one sorority on campus
has decided that in addition to
having all the members wear
white dresses in the Ivy Day Sing,
that they'd better order white ga
loshes too. The idea is not copy
righted so any other organization
can use it if they like it.
FLASH!
Dick Ryan, Sigma Nu, now has
his pin hung on Delta Gamma
Betty Rathburn. Just in case you
don't remember, he is the same
Dick Ryan who last year had his
pin on Tri Delt Olive Speith, the
girl you've been seeing everywhere
with DU Bob Nelson.
THE ENGAGEMENT
of Eleanor Rickel, Pi Phi alumn,
and Robert Wadhams, Sigma Nu
alum, was announced recently. If
you remember, Bob was an Inno
cent here two years ago and now
is in the advertising business in
Tulsa, Okl.

Acting-

posed to report to their dressing
room after each scene, so as to
leave the stage free for the prop
erty workers. Talking or unneces
sary noise behind the stage is pro
hibited. Scholastic wonder.
Just how the regular actors
manage to remain on the eligi
bility list, I sometimes wonder.
Practice and presentation of the
play necessarily takes a lot of
time, and it's next to impossible
to study in the dressing rooms.
Some of the other novices as well
as I brought assignments to prac
tice which we would attempt to
get. We soon learned why the more
experienced actors didn't do this.
One keeps worrying about when he
will be on stage, or there is always
someone who wants to talk or
something else to take your at
tention. One of the complaints I heard
from one actor was that the girls
in the play were staying in another
part of the building and that he
could not see or talk to them.
Waiting for dates.
I've learned something about
make-up and cosmetics, too. I want
to urge any men reading this to
never again resent it if they must
wait for their dates to get ready.
It takes a long time to put the
stuff on and that much longer to
smooth it down and touch it up.
And if the poor dears suffer as
much with the stuff on as I do,
they are really doing you a favor
when making themselves so lovely.
Another big thing to remember
is to let your date even encourage
her because it will make her much
happier look in her mirror and
add as much lip rouge as she
wishes. When one wears the stuff
he must continually look in a mir
ror and keep retouching it or lose
his peace of mind there's just
some irresistible force which
makes one do it.
Yes, I find acting is a great life.

politely eall "galoshes," and which
look worse than the name sounds.
Of course, they can't hurt the girls
with legs like the posts farmers
use for fences, but on the other
hand, they do nothing for the more
beautiful gals.
Someone said "Into every life
some rain must fall," but he'd
never lived in Nebraska. Nebraska
has no rain; its moisture comes
from the snows which melt into
slush and put more water into the
streets than ever ran in the Platte.
Cuter sight of the warm days last
week was that of a herd on its
way to one o'clocks, but daunted
by the raging flood in front of the
Drug. But ingenuity and brains
came to the rescue, for some in
advertent soul had parked his car
In the middle of the river, and left
it unlocked. Traffic going west
passed through the back seat,
while east-bound students clam
bered under the steering wheel
through the front seat
So Just be calm and patient. If
you don t like Nebraska weather,
wait a minute.

Half-century of printing
ibrary brings
By Bob Aldrich.
Celebrating the 500th anniver
sary of the invention of printing,
an exhibit has been arranged in
the library by Reference Librarian
Clara Craig. An outline of print
ing history is shown in the form of
books and pages representing
printing of various periods.
Early printed books, the exhibit
shows, were merely copies of man
uscripts, and the type tried to copy
handwriting. German print still
shows the effect of this imitation.
German letters began in an angu
lar style while Italian printing
was clear and round.
One leaf worth million.
A leaf from the Gutenberg
Bible, the earliest complete book
known, is part of the exhibit. Pub
lished in 1455 by the inventor of
the press, one of three known
copies was purchased by the U. S.
government and is valued at a
million dollars.
Another Bible printed by Al
brecht Tfister, an imitator of
Gutenberg, is shown. Curators
have often mistaken this for
Gutenberg's. Before the close of
the 15th century printing had
spread to all parts of Germany and
to a few other countries.
The Mainz Psalter is the second
great product of printing, publish
ed in 1457. In Italy the church of
Rome took over the new art. The
"Lectantius" published at the
Monastery of Subicco near Rome

Names of candidates will be
published in an early edition of
the DAILY.
The purpose of having this com
mittee narrow the field of candi
dates to a small number is to fa
cilitate student balloting which
will open Sunday and run for two
weeks.
Students will clip ballots from
the DAILY for use, in indicating
their favorite candidate and the
coed winning the most votes will
be proclaimed the University of

It's leap year and any girl could make
this request, according to tradition, but
actually what she's asking for is one of

shoulders tight and swing out into gay
rhythm. See the collection at MANGEL'S

priced, that'll make date-making a cinch!

Cicero's Epistles.
In Venice Nicholas Jensen, po
litical exile from France, published
"Cicero's Epistles", a part of which
is also shown in the exhibit. Jen
sen's type is the direct parent of
modern type. In England William
Caxton printed more than 100
books after introducing the art
there. Wykyn De Warde, Caxton's
apprentice, followed with the
"Golden Legend" in 1493.
The Aldus Press in Italy, be

ropean printers are represented.
Mexico first.
The first North American press
was in Mexico, 100 years before
anything was printed in the United
States. John Kromberger of Se
ville sent a printer to Spanish col
onies. The Stephen Daye press, first
one in British North America, was
installed in 1638. In Europe An
ton Kroberger was the first "cap
tain of industry" to enter- print
ing. He had 24 presses and over
100 printers with headquarters in
Nuremberg.
Printing did not begin in Ne
braska until 1847. Massachusetts
has had printing since 1632.
The specimens in the exhibit
are, of course, only 'samples of
many valuable books related to
the subject to be found in the
